“Yes, that’s right.” Xiao Jingtian finally regained her senses. Her eyes trembled as she looked at Baili Jiajue. Wasn’t he too amazing?
So many steel pipes were nailed over on all sides. In addition, the room was very dark. He was actually able to dodge these steel pipes and solve the next set of clues at the same time?!
Guo Tingting also felt that this youth seemed superhuman. What sort of weirdo would think this situation was very interesting?!
But no matter how others looked at him, Baili Jiajue’s face still carried a smile that mesmerized others. At the same time, his eyes contained an innate coldness.
It seemed like he had eyes for no one else except Helian Weiwei.
Helian Weiwei strolled into that dim room. Because the mechanism had been triggered, a human head with long flowing hair popped out from the ceiling.
The way it was suspended from the ceiling made everyone feel very uncomfortable inside.
Other than the light from the flashlight, there was no other lighting in this room. There were still dried blood stains on the floor.
This part of the escape room was very much like a haunted house, and it was more sinister than any other place.
Probably because someone had died in this place, Helian Weiwei could clearly feel the residual air of resentment here.
The background of the room was like a female dormitory. There were wooden bunk beds by the side, and books on the cabinet. All of these books were used by those in scientific research.
The moment Guo Tingting walked in, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
That sense of familiarity was indescribable. She just felt all her hair standing on end.
“This window is open?” Helian Weiwei narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the handwritten words in red scrawled there: Those who knew something but didn’t say so are also guilty. Her voice became a little deeper, “From here, we can see the previous rooftop stage that we came from. Don’t you guys think it’s strange?”
The boy holding the walkie-talkie looked in Helian Weiwei’s direction and suddenly froze. “You’re saying that the murderer is telling us that someone saw something on the rooftop through this window, but never mentioned it?”
“That’s right.” Helian Weiwei glanced at him. “How did you guess?”
The boy pointed to the sentence on the wall. “Those who knew something but didn’t say so are also guilty. According to your logic earlier, the murderer thinks that all of us are guilty, so I went along those lines and came to this idea.” He scratched the back of his head. “Did I guess it wrong?”
Helian Weiwei laughed lightly, “No, you’re very smart, that’s exactly what happened. However, the murderer isn’t trying to say this to us. He’s trying to say this to the person who saw something on the rooftop that day but didn’t speak up.” When she reached this part, Helian Weiwei paused for a moment, turned her head and said to Guo Tingting, “Miss Tingting, I think you should know this better than anyone else. What did you see on the rooftop across your hostel room through the window of your room?”
“Me?” Guo Tingting’s eyes looked a little unfocused. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. That night, I turned off the lights early and went to sleep. The lady in charge of the hostel can vouch for me on this point.”
Helian Weiwei’s eyes looked at her. “It’s true that you turned off the lights very early. However, you turned off the lights, not because you wanted to sleep, but because the position you were lying on was just enough to see clearly the rooftop opposite. Turning off the lights will allow you to see more clearly.”
When Guo Tingting realized she had been seen through, her body shuddered. “Why are you so sure that I’m the one who saw it? This is just a room within an escape room game, and you can come up with so many associations?”
Helian Weiwei’s voice was very faint. “Miss Tingting, didn’t you notice? The layout of this room and the hostel room you stay in are almost exactly the same!”
Guo Tingting suddenly paused. After Helian Weiwei mentioned this, she finally realized why she felt such a deep sense of deja vu.
“Why? Why is this escape room arranged like this?”
Guo Tingting was obviously already on the verge of breaking down. She was so scared that her whole body was trembling. “Who is it?! Who is playing with us like this?! Do you like that woman so much?!”
The last sentence she said was practically roared towards Chen Feiyang. She was angry and scared, and the tears on her face rolled down her cheeks.
Xiao Jingtian turned around and hugged her. She used her strength to comfort her silently.
Guo Tingting finally calmed down a little, but there was a cold smile on her lips. “It’s true that I did hide a few things. Chen Feiyang, Zhao Xiaodong, didn’t the two of you always think that Dong Sichun was so pretty and innocent? I’ll tell you what I saw that day. She was happily making out with someone on the rooftop, and that person wasn’t some stranger. That person was Zhang Heng. So out of the three of you, only Zhang Heng was actually smart. At least he knew that he just needed to give her something she wanted in order to bed her, and she didn’t lack men around her anyway. Those two might have hooked up a long time ago, but you two still thought of Dong Sichun as your goddess. Bloody blind bats! But then all men are cheap, so instead of cherishing the good women around you, you always hanker after this sort of woman instead. Chen Feiyang, it’s true that I used to like you, but not anymore. No man who likes a woman like Dong Sichun is worthy of me! On top of that, you’re actually going to kill us over that woman? And you’re actually willing to do something like that with Jingtian around? You’re really heartless! You deserve getting played around by Dong Sichun like that!”
“Are you quite done?!” Chen Feiyang’s hands were tightly clenched, and his expression was also beginning to look nasty.
Guo Tingting stood her ground and looked like she still wanted to say something.
However, she was interrupted by Helian Weiwei. “It’s true that this murderer is quite stupid. But there are very few men who aren’t blind, so they’re only worthy of getting played around by women like Dong Sichun, and only those who don’t end up in such a situation are worthy of you. So Miss Tingting, besides this, what else did you see?”
“Halfway through making out, they suddenly started arguing. But perhaps they were afraid that someone else might hear them, so they kept their voices low but I could see them pushing each other. Eventually they moved to another area that I couldn’t see and I didn’t see them anymore. I suppose they made up after that. I was bored watching them and I was really sleepy that day, so I fell asleep after that.” After Guo Tingting finished saying this, she let out a heavy sigh. “Besides this, I’m not hiding anything else. Actually, there are many other things about Dong Sichun that I don’t want to talk about. As her roommate, I know all about which professor she’s sleeping with and what sort of attitude she had towards these men, but she was pretty amazing at covering all this up. I’m not sure if I should say that women understand women better, or that all these men are just brainless.”
